eeThe Good Old Tines,

1t is the hardest lesson we have to
learn that progress is the inevitable
tendency of the race, and that the
present is always better than the past.
Let us examine for a moment the lives
of the people of one hundred years
ago. Wealth was the great social dis
tinctiOn with the people of 1887. There
was then no American literature, no
art, no devotion, except among linn
tied few, to scholarly pursuits. The
merchant i'm New England and the
planter in the South were the envied
favOrites in fortune, and the accepted
leaders in the social and political
world. Even Thomas Jefferson, whose
name has come to be almost synOny-
nous with democracy, maintained a
great immortal establishment at Mon
ticellO, and lived i'll almost feudal au-
thority among his vassals. John Han
cock dressed in a style of regal mag
nificence that even kings today would
not attempt to initiate. Hancock"
said visitor to his excellency, twas
dressed in a red velvet cap, within
which was one of fine linen. The lat
ter was turned up over the lower edge
of the velvet one, two or three inches.
He wore blue damask gown, lined
with silk, white stock, white satin
embroidered waistcOat, black satin
small clothes, white silk stockings and
red morocco slippers" Yet, we are
called lavishly extravagant at the pres
ent day but our richest milliOnaires
can afford nothing better than broad
cloth, and Jay Gould is said to walk to
and from his business in straw hat
and a fifteen dollar suit. The means
by which merchants acquired their
wealth, to say the least, were not less
questionable than the means employed
today. "The lessons taught in the
counting roOm," says old Samuel
Brock, "were of the most immoral
character. So soon as vessel arriv-
ed, one-half the cargo was hoisted into
the upper part of the store, and the
other half only entered at the custom
house and thus we were initiated in
the secret of smuggling" The social
life of the people at this time was cor
rupt. The grOssest intdelity was ram
pant. The manners of the people were
cOurtly and dignitied, but intolerably
t.rtifcial. In keeping with the times
equirements of dignity, the icy frigid
ity of his bearing is the one Flemish on
the character of Washington. Society
then, much more than at present, was
a matter of ruffies and lace /; aud the
Haunting purple and scarlet trappings
of silks and velvets and satins was not
by any means confined to the feminine
sex. At all familiar social gatherin gs
the punch bowl was Indispensable, and
the Odor of New England rum satur-
ated the air. Though we venerate the
great work done by the fathers, yet we
are not ready to say we have made no
progress in hundred years from their
social and moral standpoint.
